Winter Closing

Winterthur is closed to the public for our annual seasonal closing but will reopen on March 1, 2015, for the start of our spring season. Members continue to have grounds and garden access while we are closed, dawn to dusk, every day. Please show your membership card at the guard stand at the front gate.

Address

We recommend using Mapquest for directions to Winterthur as we have found that Google Maps sometimes gives inaccurate directions. We are working with Google Maps to correct the problem. If you are using a GPS, please make sure your GPS directs you to Route 52/Kennett Pike and Winterthur Road, the front entrance of Winterthur.
